Does anoyone have any knowledge about heatmolding the liner or the Shell of a lange xt3 140 pro boot? Are the liner of those boots possible to heatmold to your feet? How about the shell? Similar to lets say the fisher vacumfit, or the salamon custom Shell. If possible, time and temperature?

Should be an easy task to do at home, given you use the appropriate times and temperatures?

DO NOT TRY TO COOK THEM IN YOUR OVEN. go ride the boot for a few days then go back into the place where you bought them if you want them heat molded

My god please don’t give advice on things that you clearly have no knowledge of.

OP, Langes shells are not moldable due to the dual core construction. However, any bootfitter worth their weight would be able to stretch or grind it with 0 problem. Liners are also not really heat moldable either. A stack heater could be used to blow some heat into the heal to help break in the heel pocket, but that’s about all. I’ve found with my Langes that the traditional break-in process yields the best fit anyway!
